Ultimate Love; Richard Nicoll

I'm back from Bristol, tired as hell! Ill post about my trip tomorrow, thought I should do a post on a designer I've loved since last year, Richard Nicholl. Another London born CSM grad who's designs scream out geometry, minimalism and like most British manufactured designers its almost inevitable that the designs have a chic finish. To me this mean the garment is one to treasure the term chic ooze's of everything classy, bold, elegant and the modern woman. I've decided to upload both the SS13 and SS12 collections, to be honest purely because I'm still in love with last years floral prints, the perspex materials, cold pallets and the more interesting layering and textures just as much as I love the new collection which is currently filled with the new so-loved sports luxe, the reoccurring leopard-like print, the mesh seems to have replaced the sheer materials we saw last year. I will start with this years collection.

ss13 Trend Report!! (Again)| Fashion 2013| Fashion Week| Fashion Shows

So Cherish accidentally deleted the ss13 Trend Report *gasps* lol I know I posted it 3months ago but we aren't even into spring/ summer yet so it can still come in handy lol.
Here's the post exactly how it was back then with no changes. Yes I'm a computer whizz. I managed to get it all back.

Hi guys!! I've been soooooooo reluctant to do a Spring/ summer trend report ever since the ss13 fashion shows finished simply because I didn't want to do it too early in case I have more winter stuff to post. Turns out I'm extremely busy so I have no time for neither! It's 4am and I've been sitting here for God knows how long watching fashion shows.. Once I start there's no stopping me lol.
I have a love hate relationship with ss fashion and that's because it has soooooooo much variety and we get to wear pretty much anything we want. However its trends are ALWAYS closely linked to the previous season or very much alike to the ss fashion the year before with the tiniest change. Of course there are new trends but I could do with massive changes. 
Now lets start lol.

REPORT1: Checks, Brights and Florals
- I absolutely loved the LV show. It had the 1960s theme with the mod look. The whole floor was yellow tiled and the models were coming off escalators. I think the tiles gave it away that the main theme would be checks. Nevertheless it was exciting to watch and intriguing as the models walked out in pairs. Marc Jacobs did well there as he had clear visuals of maxi, midi and mini. On that note checks are definitely in next season.
- Bright and bold colours are going to be key trend next season. I was in love with a few jumpsuits from Issa and they were accessorised well with gold jewellery. Clashing brights are also in. I take it colour blocking is back! But please keep it chic, classy and clean! I chose the dress from Christian Dior's collection as it has clashing brights. If you look closely you'll see there is a streak of bright pink under the bright orange.Sounds odd? But it looks good! 
- Yes florals are back in! I'm quite happy about that because I didn't get to enjoy them as much during ss12 cos I was hesitant of them remembering how much I had worn that trend the year before that (or before that) lol. Next season the florals have taken a different turn. They are coming in digital prints rather than illustrated prints. So be careful of bees this summer haha. Just Cavalli, Holly Fulton, Etro and Edern have a nice collection of these florals.
